Answer:
The shadow is decreasing at the rate of 3.55 inch/min
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the building = 60ft
The shadow of the building on the level ground is 25ft long
Ѳ is increasing at the rate of 0.24°/min
Using SOHCAHTOA,
Tan Ѳ = opposite/ adjacent
= height of the building / length of the shadow
Tan Ѳ = h/x
X= h/tan Ѳ
Recall that tan Ѳ = sin Ѳ/cos Ѳ
X= h/x (sin Ѳ/cos Ѳ)
Differentiate with respect to t
dx/dt = (-h/sin²Ѳ)dѲ/dt
When x= 25ft
tanѲ = h/x
= 60/25
Ѳ= tan^-1(60/25)
= 67.38°
dѲ/dt= 0.24°/min
Convert the height in ft to inches
1 ft = 12 inches
Therefore, 60ft = 60*12
= 720 inches
Convert degree/min to radian/min
1°= 0.0175radian
Therefore, 0.24° = 0.24 * 0.0175
= 0.0042 radian/min
Recall that
dx/dt = (-h/sin²Ѳ)dѲ/dt
= (-720/sin²(67.38))*0.0042
= (-720/0.8521)*0.0042
-3.55 inch/min
Therefore, the rate at which the length of the shadow of the building decreases is 3.55 inches/min
Answer:
The answer is A) -9.272
Step-by-step explanation:
-5.872 + (-5.1)/1.5
= -5.872 - 3.4
= -9.272
Answer:
A=27 cm^2
B=24 cm^2
C=26 cm^2
D=28 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Break each problem down into individual shapes.
For instance, A can be split into a 3 by 3 square and a 6 by 3 square.
Get the area by multiplying the length & height: A = L * H
For the triangles the area is the same equation divided by 2 A=LH/2
Shapes with unclear dimensions like C can be skipped and have their area revealed through process of elimination.
Check the picture below.
with negative angles, we go "clockwise", the same direction a clock hands move.
so -360-360-125 = -845.
so as you see in the picture, you go around twice, and then a little bit more, an extra 125°, landing you at -125°, or its positive counterpart, 235°.
